Despite their mixed feelings about generative AI, most developers admit to the technology's use in their workplace.
In GDC's 2024 State of the Industry (obtain access here), 49 percent of surveyed developers said those tools are already in use at their workplaces. 31 percent said they're personally using the technology.
15 percent of developers who don't use it admitted to being interested in generative AI. Conversely, 23 percent don't and have zero desire to use it.
Of those using it, the majority of said usage (44 percent) is in finance. Community and production management trail close behind, at 41 and 33 percent, respectively.

Wait, the bit about who is using this stuff is very confusing. How exactly is 'generative AI' being used in finance. Does this survey mean that 44% of respondents who said 'yes my workplace uses generative AI tools' are in finance? Because if that's the case then what these survey results say is that a lot of people who are not at the coal face of asset making seem to believe their workplaces use generative AI, but not a lot of people who actually make assets would say so?
Also if I'm reading this right this implies 21% of respondents to the SOTI survey are in finance?
